It was a suggestion from the instructor in a managed services training group I attended earlier this year. Being that my strengths are more technical in nature, it drew my attention because it explains how anyone has the potential to be an entrepreneur. He does a good job at explaining how to take your idea and transform it into a viable business and beyond. For those like me that are more task-focused and technical but would like to be enlightened on entrepreneurship, I highly recommend it.

By legal standards I’ve been an adult for 5 years, but after graduating from college and getting married in the past year and a half, I feel like my “adulating” as just begun. Thus, one of my mom’s friends shipped me this book that has intrigued me recently. It contains many random tips and tricks for everything from cleaning to cooking to writing a resume.

The Course of Love - Alain de Botton
A look at the ups and downs of love and marriage and how we have to be more willing to give love than receive love if we’re really going to make it work. Marriage isn’t a fairy tale; it is real life, and this book details it beautifully.

Garden City: Work, Rest and the Art of Being Human - John Mark Comer
I highlighted this entire book but here is my favorite quote: “Sabbath is an expression of faith. Faith that there is a Creator and He’s good. We are His creation. This is His world. We live under His roof, drink His water, eat His food, breathe His oxygen. So on the Sabbath, we don’t just take a day off from work; we take a day off from toil. We give Him all our fear and anxiety and stress and worry. We let go. We stop ruling and subduing, and we just be. We ‘remember’ our place in the universe. So that we never forget . . . There is a God, and I’m not Him.”

By the way, I’ve pre-ordered Find Your Why by Simon Sinek. His book Start With Why changed the way I approach marketing and life. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to get it today. If you have, join me in reading Find Your Why.
